Game development continues - here are some new screenshots:

First is one of the 3 main characters in their infant state. As you level them up, they will evolve into their adult forms.




The second is the mysterious old man I mentioned previously. You meet him under interesting circumstances and he manages to intertwine himself into you and your new pet's life.



And the last one is a pretty unhappy pet. This is after punishing it for whatever reason - you have the ability to praise or punish your pet as you see fit - with your actions having lasting effects on your pet's personality.



I'm currently in the process of adding cut-scenes, some story components, and tutorials. Some videos of the game in action coming soon.

After almost a year of working on this in my free time, I'm finally ready to start showing it off. The game still does not have an official title, but I've just been calling it Super Happy Fun Pet Time Extravaganza. I'll say it's roughly 60-70% complete, and I will be needing beta testers in the coming months, so feel free to contact me if interested.

The Story
After a series of unfortunate events, you find yourself responsible for one of three creatures - given to you by a mysterious old man. Where they are from and what they need to do is slowly unveiled as your pet grows.

The Game
The game has 3 primary aspects - the pet sim, the world exploration, and crafting.

Each pet starts off with a unique set of attributes - but how you raise them, train them, and level them up will affect how they act, how they grow, and how they fight.

I will go into more detail as the game progresses, and feel free to follow me on Twitter for the latest, but for now here are some screenshots to get a feel for the art style and to see the three creatures in action...

Stay tuned for more information and beta testing signups.

Also follow me on Twitter for a sneak peek.
